	*Words to Songs* Here are some lyrics to Bobby Boogaloo's songs: *I Feel Really, Really Good* by Bobby Boogaloo Bobby's Song Notes: "This is a song about having a positive attitude... sometimes to feel good - really, REALLY good - we just have to make up our minds. There are many things that might seem beyond our control in this world, but we always have control over our own mind - it has a LOT of power if we choose to use it! To have a positive attitude makes us feel good, as well as helping those around us to feel good - now that's a lot of power!!!" HEAR MP3 HERE! CLICK FOR CLIP! I feel really really good that's really really how I feel I feel really really good that's really really how I feel I feel so good today so don't anybody try to take it away 'cuz I feel really really good that's really really how I feel I feel oh so fine, oh so fine I feel I feel oh so fine, oh so fine I feel I feel oh so fine, so don't anybody try to change my mind 'cuz I feel oh so fine, oh so fine I feel I feel in my groove in my groove I feel I feel in my groove in my groove I feel I feel in my groove so don't anybody try to make me move 'cuz I feel in my groove in my groove I feel I feel la-di-da, la-di-da I feel I feel la-di-da, la-di-da I feel I feel la-di-da so don't anybody try to make me feel BLAH! I feel la-di-da, la-di-da I feel You Can Be The You That You Were Meant To Be by Bobby Boogaloo "This is a song about being a real star... I think anyone and everyone can be and IS a star. What does it mean to me to be a star? Just listen to that little voice in your head - it is there to guide you. Sometimes you have to listen really closely... When we listen to it, and follow our heart and our dreams - and then act upon it - we begin to shine from within... just like a star in the sky!" HEAR MP3 HERE! CLICK FOR CLIP! CHORUS: You can be the "you" that you were meant to be Just follow the star of your destiny Face your face in the mirror with dignity And then you can be the "you" that you were meant to be When the road gets rough ("doo doo doo") When times get tough ("doo doo doo") When you think you've had enough ("doo doo doo") That's when we've got to rise and face fear in the eye ("i! i! i! i!") CHORUS It's not always easy ("doo doo doo") It's not always breezy ("doo doo doo") Maybe it makes you queasy ("doo doo doo") But that's when we've got to rise and face fear in the eye ("i! i! i! i!") CHORUS Pursue excellence in whatever you endeavor Be honest with yourself - no matter whatever Follow your heart whatever tickles your feather We've all just got to rise and face fear in the eye ("i! i! i! i!") CHORUS x2 *Do The Next Thing Now!* by Bobby Boogaloo "We've all got those things we've just GOT to do!! But no matter what we have to do, we can always CHOOSE to do it in our own way - with our own STYLE, and our own SMILE! Sometimes all it takes is enthusiasm and the abilitiy to make a game of whatever we do to make our tasks fun (and it's easier this way too!)" HEAR MP3 HERE! CLICK FOR CLIP!

Sometimes you've got to roll up your sleeves and get the tough job done Just jump right in get messy and make it fun Do the next thing, do the next thing now! You've got to get into it to get anything out Your enthusiasm will conquer any doubt Do the next thing, do the next thing now! Sometimes we've got to do some things we just don't want to do But you never know what gifts it might have in store for you Do the next thing, do the next thing now! We've got to do the dishes! ("do the dishes!") Feed the fishes! ("feed the fishes!") Scrub the floor! ("scrub the floor!") Paint the door! ("paint the door!") *O-U-R-A Canadian!* by Bobby Boogaloo "What does it mean 2 B A Canadian? Canada is such a vast and diverse country in both its' land and its' people! We are all different and yet at a deeper level we are all the same! I think we all want to live in, and help create, a country that respects all our differences and allows us the freedom to pursue our dreams both individually and as a whole. It is up to each and all of us to help do our part to make this great country the best it can be. We're all in this together!" HEAR MP3 HERE! CLICK FOR CLIP! CHORUS: O-U-R-A Canadian! And so proud to be Can you tell me all about what it means 2 U 2 B Canadian? True north strong and free It's a beautiful wonderous country to call home So tell me about the land! What can you tell me about this land called Canada? Well it's seven thousand kilometres from sea to sea From Newfoundland all the way to B.C. From the highest mountains to the flattest prairies It's a land so grand and with such diversity CHORUS So what about the people? What can you tell me about the people of Canada? We come from everywhere - all over the globe We all look different - but we all call this home From the natives to the settlers of yesteryear To today's immigrants - we all have our place here CHORUS So what makes Canada special? I mean - what makes Canada "Canada"? Well we take care of each other like a big family We each have our own piece of responsibility We start with ourself and then our vicinity And the next thing you know we have one amazing country CHORUS (x2) *This is the Song - Follow Along!* by Bobby Boogaloo "This fun action song is a bit like 'Simon Says' except it's more like 'Bobby Boogaloo Says' - just listen closely to the words and do what they say to do!" HEAR MP3 HERE! CLICK FOR CLIP! Stand up on your feet Stretch up to sky Shake your hips Wink your eye This is the song - follow along! ("This is the song - follow along!") Stick out your tongue Say "la la la" Make a funny face And say "blah blah blah" This is the song - follow along! ("This is the song - follow along!") Reach down to the floor Tickle your toes Get on back up And wiggle your nose This is the song - follow along! ("This is the song - follow along!") Now rub your belly And tap your head Hop on one foot And then the other instead This is the song - follow along! ("This is the song - follow along!") Sit back down Take a deep breath in Hold it for a second And let it out again That was the song - Thanks for following ALONG! *The 3R Blues* by Dr. Haley Simons "This song goes out to our very best hostess - Mother Nature herself! We only have one planet, and it's up to each and all of us to take care of her the best that we can. If we each do our part, it can add up very fast to one very-well-cared-for planet. After all, if we take care of Mother Nature - MOTHER NATURE TAKES CARE OF US!!!" HEAR MP3 HERE! CLICK FOR CLIP! I can turn off the lights, when I leave the room I can ride my bike, and cut down on car fumes I can turn off the taps, watch the water I use I can recycle the metal and plastic and bottles and paper that makes the news Mother Nature, you're the one I choose . . . I say recycle, reduce, and reuse - that's the 3R Blues I can close the fridge door, don't let those CFC's out I can clean up my streets and parks, clean all the litter out I can fix things, instead of throwing them away I can do whatever it takes to make sure nature stays Mother Nature, you're the one I choose . . . I say recycle, reduce, and reuse - that's the 3R Blues I say reduce, recycle, and reuse I say reduce, recycle, and reuse I say reduce, recycle, and reuse Cause that's the 3R Blues (repeat) *Taking Care of Each Other* by Bobby Boogaloo "If we look out at the surface of the ocean, how many ripples do we see? Endless... and each one is unique unto itself. But if we go below the surface, deeper and deeper, we understand that it is one great ocean. What if we were like that? On the surface, we all look different and have our own uniqueness. But what if we choose to look a little deeper within ourselves and each other? What if, at a deeper level, we were really all one, just like that great ocean? If we look deeper, it is easy to see that we are all very interconnected, and how we treat others is very much the same as how we treat ourselves!" HEAR MP3 HERE! CLICK FOR CLIP! CHORUS: We are all the many, many, many, many, many, many faces of one And taking care of each other is what makes this game fun (x2) We're all in this world - each of us together And so we must all take care - take care of each other Treat one another with kindness and caring It's one world for us all - one world for the sharing CHORUS Everyone is different - so many shapes and colours But we all beat with one heart - we're all sisters and brothers One race of humanity, one face of the earth Until we work together we won't know what it is worth CHORUS *If You Be Good To Your Body* by Bobby Boogaloo "Our bodies can be our best friends if we treat them with the respect they deserve! As we treat it - so it treats us! If we feed it the most nutritious foods and drinks that help us grow, and give it plenty of exercise, it will return the favour by helping us to feel GOOD. BUT WAIT - THERE'S A SUPER SPECIAL BONUS: When our bodies are healthy and strong - then our minds and emotions can be healthy and strong too!" HEAR MP3 HERE! CLICK FOR CLIP! An apple a day will keep the doctor away That's what they say hey-hey When you eat the food that's really good Then your body says "let me repay!" CHORUS: So - take it from me and for yourself you will see How these simple words can be true When I say: If you be good to your body Then your body be good to you Yes I say: If you be good to your body Then your body be good to you Get outside and have a run around Reach up to the sky and fall down to the ground Just move your body like it was meant to do Stretch it and shake it and do the boogaloo CHORUS Drink plenty of water, get a good night's rest And if you want to feel your power pound your fists on your chest Treat yourself right and you will be at your best Feel like a million bucks with a zippity zest CHORUS *What Makes U Unique* by Bobby Boogaloo "When no one's looking your way - when you're all alone and let yourself dream - that's when you can really find out how unique and special you are! It is very important that we honour, explore, and celebrate our own uniqueness, because we all have a place and purpose in this world. It is up to each of us to discover who we are and what we have to offer the world!" HEAR MP3 HERE! CLICK FOR CLIP! CHORUS: Uuuuu! Rrrrrrr! U! R! U - U - U - U - nique like a one-of-a-kind-snowflake and your smile is your style - it's so groovy and chic yes it's true there's nobody quite like you like a star in the night may you always shine bright and true it's the thing that you do when noone's watching you that's what makes you unique it's the way that you play when they've looked the other way that's what makes you unique CHORUS it's the way that you sing that gives you your zing! that's what makes U unique it's the way that you move that gives you your groove that's what makes U unique CHORUS it's your charm and the grace that shows on your face and that's what makes U unique it's how you think for youself that gives you true wealth that's what makes U unique CHORUS *You Can Do It!* By Bobby Boogaloo "Sometimes, if we want to realize our dreams, we have to S-T-R-E-T-C-H! What do we stretch? Ourselves! We have to stretch ourselves a little beyond who and what we think we normally are and can do. It takes courage and persistence to grow and learn what needs to be grown and learned to realize our dreams. Sometimes it can be uncomfortable when we're trying new things! Sometimes we might think we 'fail', BUT - these 'failures' can actually be a very big part of our success! If we are stretching ourselves as we grow and learn, it is most likely that we won't get it right right away - otherwise we maybe aren't stretching ourselves enough! Did you know that Thomas Edison - who invented the light bulb - 'failed' 10,000 times before he finally achieved his success? When asked how he kept going despite all these 'failures', he replied that he didn't 'fail', he simply found 10,000 ways NOT to make a light bulb! Every single one of those ways became a part of the final success - so there is no such thing as failure as long as we keep learning and following our dreams!" HEAR MP3 HERE! CLICK FOR CLIP! You can do it - that thing you must do You can do it - just follow through... You can……. Do it! You can do it - hold your chin up You can do it - no matter what... You can……. Do it! You can do it - yes indeed You can do it - just sow a seed... You can……. Do it! BRIDGE: ''Cuz if you focus the power of your mind Then you will do it like a one-of-a kind You can do it like nobody else And all you've got to do is - think for yourself You can do it - yes you heard me alright You can do it - just follow your light... You can……. Do it! You can do it if you're so inclined You can do it once you make up your mind... You can…Do it! You can do it you can do it you can do it You can do it - there's nothing to it... You can……. Do it! BRIDGE You can do it - and do it in style You can do it - and do it with a smile... You can……. Do it! You can do it - just keep on going You can do it - just keep on knowing... You can……. Do it! *Thank You* By Bobby Boogaloo "This song is about something called 'the attitude of gratitude'. What does that mean? Well... your attitude is your way of thinking, and 'gratitude' means to be thankful. Want to know a secret way to feel good, or to make yourself feel better if you're not feeling very good? Just close your eyes and think of ten things to be thankful for. Then maybe think of another ten things. Next thing you know, you can't help but to start feeling really, really good!" HEAR MP3 HERE!
